Goodbye to All

I came to this board in good faith in an attempt to learn what Islam is really all about.  My expectations were that this forum would provide mature and respectful exchanges of conversation and dialogue on a variety of topics.

I was wrong.  People of other faiths are not really accepted here by any means.  There is no equality, and I find this extremely disappointing.  I had thought better of your religion and culture.  However, after many days of being respectful and courteous regarding your beloved religion and prophet, I have learned that it is a one way street.  Although there are some who I believe would like to show more parity, but don't out of fear of repercussions.

For this reason I will take what I have learned (most has been negative because of such a lack of respect and horrendous rudeness which is allowed by some immature Muslims.)  I had heard (but did not believe) that a Muslim will always stand up for another Muslim no matter what the issue.  I did not believe this!  I was wrong. This has been one of the toughest lessons I have had to learn, and I have had to accept that I am truly hated by Muslims.....for no reason other than that I am not Muslim. 

May Allah/God richly bless each of you and grant you great wisdom.
